    Sex, Kidnapping, murder, and a unicorn. A short illustrated story about a runaway boy who seeks refuge in a park. There he transforms himself into his animal counter part by placing the worlds largest hedgehog on top of his head. Hedgehog Boy is born. He learns about true love when he must rescue his boyfriend from his arch enemy's Possum and Raccoon Boy. The dirty vermin have kidnapped Kitty in a scheme to write ransom letters for stolen stuffed animals. With the help of the magical unicorn our hero learns to overcome his burden of swords. She guides his journey as he sets out to save Kitty with his sack of mysterious swords. Revenge is a dish best served cold with a side of spiky hedgehog. A total of 28 detailed illustrations bring this touching and bizarre love story to life.

Behind the seemingly childish themes of classic animal fables we find biting satire and a wry revealing of human weakness and wickedness.
